MOTS-c dosage calculator.
Reconstituting MOTS-c? Enter the mg in the vial, the bacteriostatic water you add, and your target dose. You get the exact concentration, the volume to draw in mL, and the units on a U-100 syringe. No rounding, no account, and the full math is shown every time.
Units shown for a U-100 insulin syringe (1 mL = 100 units). No rounding · the full math is above.
How the math works
Three steps, no hand-waving.
Reconstitution is simple arithmetic. The only thing that matters is that it is exact, and that you can see every step.
Vial mg ÷ BAC water mL = mg/mL. A 10 mg vial in 2 mL of water is 5.0000 mg/mL.
Target dose ÷ concentration = mL to draw. 5 mg ÷ 5.0000 mg/mL = 1.0000 mL.
Draw mL × 100 = units on a U-100 insulin syringe. 1.0000 mL = 100 units.
Background
What MOTS-c reconstitution is
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA) studied for its role in metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and exercise response. It is a research compound supplied as a lyophilized powder that is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water before a dose can be drawn. Concentration is the mg in the vial divided by the mL of water you add. This calculator runs that arithmetic exactly, with no hidden rounding, so your draw volume and units are precise.

FAQ
MOTS-c reconstitution questions, answered.
How do you calculate a MOTS-c dose?
Divide the mg of MOTS-c in the vial by the mL of bacteriostatic water you add for the concentration in mg/mL. Then divide your target dose (in mg) by that concentration for the draw volume in mL, and multiply by 100 for units on a U-100 insulin syringe.
How much BAC water for a 10mg MOTS-c vial?
There is no single correct amount. 2 mL gives 5 mg/mL; more water lowers the concentration and gives a larger, easier-to-measure draw. Enter the amount you plan to add and the calculator returns your exact numbers.
How many units is a 5 mg MOTS-c dose?
It depends on the concentration. At 5 mg/mL (a 10 mg vial in 2 mL), 5 mg is 1.0000 mL, or 100 units on a U-100 syringe. That is a full mL; using less water or a smaller dose reduces the draw. Change any input above to see your own numbers.
What is MOTS-c?
MOTS-c (mitochondrial open reading frame of the twelve S rRNA type-c) is a peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA. Research has examined its effects on metabolic homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, and physical performance. It is investigational and not an approved drug.
Is MOTS-c FDA approved?
No. MOTS-c is a research peptide and is not approved by the FDA for any use. This tool performs arithmetic only and is not a recommendation to use it.
Why does the draw seem large for MOTS-c?
MOTS-c doses are often in whole milligrams, larger than microgram peptides like ipamorelin, so the draw volume is bigger at the same concentration. Increasing the concentration (less water) shrinks the draw. The calculator shows the trade-off live.
How should reconstituted MOTS-c be stored?
Follow the storage guidance for your specific product. Reconstituted peptide vials are generally refrigerated and used within a limited window. Regimio tracks a per-vial expiry countdown so you are not guessing.
Is this calculator exact?
Yes. It runs the arithmetic with no hidden rounding and shows the concentration to four decimal places, so your draw volume and units are precise.
Is this medical advice?
No. This calculator performs arithmetic on the values you enter. It does not recommend a dose, schedule, or source. Confirm anything you do with a qualified provider.
